The theater was used as the setting for the Sesame Street special, Elmopalooza. Some exterior shots were used, while the interior of the theater was replicated with sets.

The theater also held the 2004Daytime Emmy Awards, which featured a live performance from the Sesame Street Muppets. During their intro, an exterior shot of the building appears, with the street sign and lampost in the foreground.

The O and Y from the theater's marquee can be seen in recurring Letter of the Day segments, originally filmed for Season 40. Images from the building's exterior also appear in the show's 30 Rock spoof.
